List of Natural Burial Grounds

Deerton, Kent's designated natual burial ground, is a quiet, beautiful, everlasting resting place bordered by orchards and grazing land with abundant flora and fauna. Privately owned, it is 2.4 acres, situated between Faversham and Sittingbourne conveniently near the A2 and M2.

The ground is managed on sound ecological lines and will be cared for by a trust, when full, as a nature reserve. The first burial was in September '07. Plots are available as needed but may be reserved and purchased in advance. People of all faiths are welcome and no extra charge is made for non Kent residents.

Coffins must be biodegradable and memorial trees are planted. A large car park is open on burial days with a smaller one open at all times. The funeral of a loved one is a very personal event. It is inevitably sad but it can also be a time to celebrate that life. A phone call will enable us to do all we can to be of service.
